1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

An eight-year-old female presenting with posterior neck pain and torticollis who had been diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) three weeks earlier was radiographed and diagnosed with atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF). Following treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the posterior neck pain improved, and the torticollis was cured. Symptoms returned after two weeks, and computed tomography showed a 3.94 mm atlantodental interval and axis rotation. The patient was diagnosed with AARF relapse; symptoms resolved spontaneously prior to subsequent examination, and no further relapses were observed. This case highlights the need for clinicians to be aware that AARF may develop after COVID-19. Treatment options should be carefully considered.
